OverviewAnthony steps through the frustrations and idiosyncrasies of everyday life with a comic eye and a candid approach to family life. The subject matter leaps from farce to fornication, from his frequent failures to his fierce frivolousness. Mixed in with these irreverent musings are some caustic attacks on homophobia and some beautiful and moving words on the commonality of young male suicide.
